It sounds like an easy task for XSLT 2 or later with e.g.

 B  <xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-starting-with="HEADER">


XSLT 2 or 3 is available on various platforms using Saxon Java, SaxonC,
SaxonCS or SaxonJS.

With XSLT 1.0 you can try to key the siblings that are not HEADERs on
the generated id of the preceding HEADER sibling e.g.

 B  <xsl:key name="sib-group"
match="container-element-name/*[not(self::HEADER)]"
use="generate-id(preceding-sibling::HEADER[1])"/>

and then you process e.g. <xsl:apply-templates select="HEADER"/> and in
the template for that element you can pull in e.g.

 B  <xsl:template match="HEADER">

 B B B  <rset>

 B B B B B  <xsl:copy-of select=". | key('sib-group', generate-id())"/>

 B B B  </rset>

 B  </xsl:template>
